Sorry but I don't have a fancy webcam to take a picture.
The comics that I just told you what I bought, what you see is what I bought. Spent 100 bucks on those back issues while I was at the comic shop

The Power Pack back issues were playing hide and seek while I was just looking for the other comics. The old Power Pack stuff were right next to a long box full of Dreadstar and the weird Exterminators comic.
The lizard aliens in old Power Pack still creep me out

I bought 3 Captain America TPBs: Death of the Red Skull, Society of Serpents, and Justice is Served. That latter two are from the Epic Collection line. Combined they reprint Captain America #290-332, Annual #8, and appearances in Marvel Fanfare and Amazing Spider-Man. I'm planning to buy another TPB that reprints through #350 (the era when Steve Rogers was just "The Captain"). I went ahead and bought a copy of Captain America: The Captain TPB off of ebay, so maybe I'll do some binge-reading.

Journeyed into Jersey with the wife yesterday and I stopped at 2 comic shops. Got these books for 25-50 cents each. I'm from New Jersey. Where are you from?

Lots of chipping on the edges of the covers. But I'm okay with it for 50 cents.

I loved me some Force Works... that was back in when there was an Iron Man group of titles.. good times. I remember being so excited when the 'Hands of the Mandarin' crossover hit, onyl to find it it was the beginnings of the horror that was the Crossing.

Man, no matter how many times I reread the Crossing, it never gets any better. The art was by Deodato but it looks like he farmed it out to his studio.

That's a legitimate question. I didn't remember what sequence of events led to the whole storyline. I also wanted to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It could very well be that the story was fair but the events ( Tony being a villain, Wasp turning into a bug) were what made the story bad. It wasn't.

I've re-read things I didn't care for before and liked them. I just read your post as indicating that you'd read that particular book a number of times which seemed odd.

The first time I read it, it seemed like I imagined it or it was a bad dream...
